Step
Eight
Now for some real magic. Choose Filter>Artistic>Plastic Wrap
(Highlight Strength: 15; Detail: 8; Smoothness: 8) and click OK to
create some very cool specular highlights. The Plastic Wrap Filter
is great for creating all sorts of irregular highlights like those found in
liquids, gels, plastic, slimy substances, etc.. Your image
should look like the one shown middle right.
Step Nine
The next step is to create a slightly darker edge on the blood letters. Load
'Alpha 1' as a selection again by choosing Select>Load Selection
(Document: blood; Channel: Alpha 1; New Selection). Soften the
selection by choosing Select>Feather (Feather Radius: 2).
Select the foreground color again to open the Color Picker Dialog and
change the RGB values to 100,0,0 and click OK. Fill the selection
with the new red color by using (Alt/Option - Delete) and Deselect
(Ctrl/Command - D) to remove the selection. You should now have the image shown bottom
right.
